The fat worm took control of the virtual body and turned it against them. The virtual body successfully fused with the authority of slavery, but now the authority of slavery wants to kill them.
The fat black worm used the power of the virtual body to jump into the Mindscape in pursuit of them. Since the virtual body was still linked to them, the fat worm was able to easily find them. Then it jumped into their mind.
None of their defenses has been able to black the fat worm. It behaved as if none of their defenses were there. This reminded them of how the repelling barrier around the Crown of Nobility had ignored them after they gained control of it.
But what was surprising and different about their current experience is that the fat worm hasn't enslaved them yet. What the fat worm enslaved was only the virtual body. But even the fact that the fat worm enslaved their virtual body so easily was enough to baffle them.
Legion-1 asked the others, "What the heck is going on?"
